Chile

Aside from the obvious exception of Antarctica, Chile boast the southernmost point of any nation, just under the exclave of Tierra del Fuego governed by Argentina - though it is usually more like ‘Tierra del Hielo’, that is, more ice than fire; though we can forgive geologists for naming land masses more after their subterranean volcanic features than their obvious geographic features. Nonetheless, it is likely that Chile was one of the very last continental locations settled anywhere on earth, barring islands of course, and that is true whether you subscribe to a biblical young earth creation paradigm or even if you elaborate elucidations of Darwinian uniformitarianism. Either way, human society is said to have sprung up in the Middle East or North Africa initially, and a simple glance at global map would lead to the self-evident conclusion that the southern parts of present-day South America would be the last reached point of natural human migration from either of these starting points.

Although, last occupied doesn't mean last in valuation. Chile produces the highest amount of copper globally, that metal that helped move society forward to the Bronze Age, beginning in the Middle East. It's also the biggest producer of molybdenum, that anti-corrosive element that helps manufacture stainless steel, and brought the world beyond the Iron Age and into the modern age. Curiously, its climate is largely adapted for olive production, just like the eastern hills of that blessed, volatile city of Jerusalem, wherein the Master agonized for us that night. Thus, though it is likely that Chile has not been inhabited throughout the ages like many other locations, it is inextricably linked to all the ages and I am certain there are those that call it home that are some of the very ones the Master sweated drops of blood for that Night.
